Wendy Mitman Clarke

Staff Writer

As staff writer on the College Relations and Marketing team, Wendy follows and writes as many stories on as many topics across the campus community as she can find.

She holds a BA in English from the University of Vermont, where she graduated with highest honors. After four years as a staff writer with The Associated Press in its Northern New England bureau in Concord, N.H., she returned to the Chesapeake where she had grown up sailing with her parents and her best buddy, a springer spaniel. She was executive editor of Chesapeake Bay Magazine for six years and has a thorough knowledge of the culture, history, and ecology of the Bay. Her book Window on the Chesapeake: The Bay, Its People and Places, was published in 2003 by The Mariners’ Museum and Howell Press. She spends as much time as possible on the water, wherever she can find it.
